Strong's Lexicon anthupateuó: To be a proconsul, to govern as a proconsul Original Word: ἀνθυπατεύω Word Origin: Derived from ἀνθύπατος (anthupatos), meaning "proconsul" or "deputy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek term ἀνθυπατεύω, as the concept of a Roman proconsul is specific to the Greco-Roman world and does not have a direct counterpart in the Hebrew governance system. Usage: The verb ἀνθυπατεύω refers to the act of serving as a proconsul, a high-ranking official in the Roman government who governed a province. In the New Testament, this term is used to describe the role of a Roman official who held significant authority and responsibility in the administration of a province. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Roman Empire, a proconsul was a governor of a senatorial province. These officials were typically former consuls who were appointed by the Senate to govern provinces that were considered stable and did not require a military presence. The proconsul had judicial and administrative authority and was responsible for maintaining order and implementing Roman law. The position was one of prestige and power, reflecting the hierarchical and bureaucratic nature of Roman governance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for anthupatos, q.v.
